Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

If I have text embeded into a picture, but I want the googlebot to see it should I put the text into the alt tag?

yes

Yup, that's exactly what you want to do. Not only is it good for google, bit it is also great for those who have images turned off, for a variety of reasons.

In the future you might want to post thiss kind of stuff in the Web Site Design & Graphic forum

Search engines can't read text in images full stop. So, yes, that's what the alt="" tag is there for. :)

However, unless the image is actually connected to a link, then the alt tag benefits are going to be pretty minimal.
